Black Mountain Golf Club

Hua Hin is a fantastic place for a golf holiday and there are several excellent golf courses to play. One of which is Black Mountain Golf Club. Having opened for play in 2007, Black Mountain Hua Hin continues to set very high standards for golf in Hua Hin and Thailand.

Designed by Phil Ryan, the course is just 30 minutes away from the beach resort of Hua Hin and is very easy to reach. The 27-hole golf course has been split into three distinct sets of nine holes and you can combine any of the nine holes to make a fantastic 18-hole round of golf.

The host of the first European Tour event to be played in Thailand plus several Asian PGA Tour events, Black Mountain is popular among both players and fans.

Black Mountain is split into the East, North and West Course, with the East being the first set of nine holes created. Many visitors tend to keep to the original 18 holes of golf which means combining the East and North Courses.

One of the many great things about playing at Black Mountain Golf Club is not only the tremendous conditioning of the course throughout the year but the choice of approach on many of the holes. Players can choose from taking the safe option, which is suitable for beginner golfers to the most challenging route, which can lead to greater rewards but with bigger risk.

It’s this risk/reward feature which keeps many golfers coming back for more at Black Mountain.

The par-5, 6th hole in the East Course is a great example. Long hitters on top form can go for the peninsula green in two shots and in doing so, set up the possibility for an eagle. However, the fairway narrows considerably the further down the fairway you strike the ball and this can lead to danger in terms of sand and water.

The more casual player has the option of taking three shots to the green, which ensure the hazards are easier to negotiate. You can expect similar scenarios throughout the course and this is what makes Black Mountain Golf Club great for players of all abilities.

Water players a significant role on the original 18 holes and the same can be said for the latest set of nine holes, the West Course. This opened in 2016 and maintains the same high standards of the original course with some very large greens to negotiate.

The off-course facilities at Black Mountain are second to none and you will find a driving range and pro-shop. However, the overall resort boasts extensive accommodation options, a water park, restaurant, gym, tennis courts and much more.

You could easily spend a few days at Black Mountain Golf Club enjoying the 27 holes of golf, accommodation and other activities.

An enjoyable round but I came away with the feeling that it is a bit overpriced and immature

Expectations were high because the course advertised itself as one of the top 100 courses in the world... turns out it is a pretty good one but definitely not worthy of the top 100 hype... the facilities, greens, fairways and people were, well, good enough.

Black Mountain Golf Club

Fantastic course but so slow

Reviewed by Steve Boyle; on 03 Jan 2019

Cant fault the course. 5 star all the way from clubhouse to condiriin of course. Its also a challenging course with some great holes. Easy to see why they have held so many top competitions. Only fault is that it was so slow. We waited on EVERY shot! If you are paying top dollar this should not be the case.

Lives up to its reputation

Not much to add to the plaudits heaped on this course. Apparently named 59th best course in the world by some organisation or other and I believe it. Only reservation is pace of play, where we had to wait on every hole after the first couple of opening holes.

Black Mountain Golf Club

An absolute must...

Reviewed by Atul; on 27 Jul 2018

I’ve been lucky to play some fine courses in Thailand, this is right up there at the top. Beautiful setting and some challenging holes. Greens in excellent condition, however a bit tough for mid-handicapper like me. Great caddy, next time I’ll walk and not take the cart. Nice bar afterwards, great locker room facilities. It’s not cheap, however worth the money. I’m coming back in August for another round at reduced green fee rates.
